You, know what, I stop reading books almost 20 years ago. I been there. I got my own Library collecting dust.
my youngest son, when he was small, he looked at my Library and said, an't no way in the world, you have read all of those books. My wife has said, people do not know, you have study all of those things, that you have spoken about and done your own, personal investigation, even dictionaries, lexicons, and the "bible translations" you read.
The stuff i talk about here on "TALKJESUS" is old, And many things I cannot speak about things I am learning in GOD
I cannot count, how many times. i have cried. and prayed each day, in GOD, all of these years. every day "in the Morning, noonday, the evening, the night, and my dreams, I am being taught, even in my dreams!
Night before last, I was dreaming I was in church, and hiding among the "Congregation", for i never, ever want to sit down, among the preachers or Pastors,
[but they Always calls me to The sit, in The "Pulpit", i am so embarrassed we they call me"]. in this dream, they called my name, and the "Congregation" turn around and looked in silent and look down at me with my head down, for they know me, I never wants the "high seat", and they remained silent, in my dream, and then The Fire, start burning in my Soul, and The "Hymn" start rising in my soul, like it always do before I would Preach,,
And right there in the Pew. This song start rising, and The Glory of GOD appeared in my soul in my dream, And, I started singing;
"Were you There when They "Crucified my LORD" "Were you Thereeeeee, when The SUN refused to shine" "were you There, when they Crucified my Lord" and sometimes it makes me "to tremble to tremble". and I "Woke Straight up yesterday morning in the bed" and I was singing!
and paid it no mind. It has been a normal thing for me for over Forty years. I sleep JESUS, I preach JESUS to the crowd to The Congregation of GOD and not to sinners in my sleep! I have been in the GREAT
"Assembly" Clothe in "WHITE ROLES" with others and "saw
The Captain of The HOST" who's voice sounded and "Roared Like "Many Waters".
Even all night unto "this' day this Morning I heard in my sleep, Someone giving a lecture about "plain Ordinary on how to read The Bible' all the way from The Old testament clear in the New testament, and i was "Critiquing" everyone of his words. and i began to wake up, and notice, my cell phone was on, playing "youtube" and as i was Listening to this "LECTURE", not a sermon, a lecture, not teaching "A Lecture" on how God Blesses and command us to read The Bible and many times we do not understand what it is saying, but at the proper time, GOD Brings it To OUR REMEMBRANCE and "HE" bring us, into understand what He wants Us "TO KNOW AT THE PROPER TIME!" not for the people of This world.
I have proclaiming that for over 20 years! And i laid down men books way back then, and refused to publish my books and sale them, Making "merchandise" what I have freely received
But I must be beware of "christians" luring me back into that trap. A Adulterous relationship with another's book, and Not betray My love to "GODS"S WORD"
For it is The Chief of all of my JOY, I will never embrace another.
Many claim, I adopted many kinds of doctrines, I read " BIOGRAPHIES"
, but i can tell many do not understand how to read, or have not read the things i have said and written, And they called me a calvinist and they paid no attention to none of my words on "Identity" who i have said who i am,
and I going to say it again; "i am a "Child of The LIVING GOD" and this "GOD" is MY FATHER! as well as He is to many.
I prayed many years ago, many prayers, Hundreds of prayers for GOD to teach me how To "SPEED" read, with "perception" in a way that was Pleasing in his sight! TEARS running down my face! 3 to 5 books, some pages over 700 pages 3 to 5 books in within 7 days, not including My BIBLE full course. Empires, Countries ,Nations, Cultures, Rivers, Seas, Animals, Kings, Queens, Reformation leaders, and how messages were delivered, by "Runners clear up into The 21 st. Century, All "biblical related"..
and much more. And I ask GOD to tie everything together, that is pleasing in his sight and not my own.
And many times i told him, you said ask and you will receive. and you said: "with men things are impossible but with GOD all things are possible" and he bless me when i didn't not know he did, in this capacity.
"Because i knew i was dumb as a OX! And I told HIM, teach me Lord better than Those who instruct and teach and the graduates Form "OXFORD"! For my own understanding that I might Know "The TRUTH" about your word!
And all men are liars. And many just want to be highly esteem among men and seat in the high places. and be called; "pastors. ministers, Evangelist, bible teachers, "Lord just teach me. tears lying on the floors, that i might understand" and nothing more!
"I do not want to teach in their churches or preach in their Sanctuaries" and i said it with power! I want to know you! He heard me and i was dumb as a ox! "worldly wise i was". "AND I WAS FULL OF THE HOLY GHOST< WHEN I PRAYED AND ASK" for Him to TEACH ME!
Oh yes, methodist churches want me to teach in their churches, I preach in them, A methodist preacher married me, My mother and all 6 of her sisters and her mother were Methodist . I preach even in the South in their churches. I women methodist Pastor of a all white church, lived directed across the street all my life, and I told that story here on "TalkJesus", And how she watched me grow up, and God was working with me through my mind.
I never paid any of this attention.
And as far as John Wesley was. He was nothing but a great brother who was a Good "Organizer" But "George Whitfield" was the real "starter of the "Methodist Church" but he left because he did not want to cause confusion into the body of Christ. And he was not a great organizer. I know more about the methodist than the majority of "the Methodist members" who attends and members of that organization.
And "Whitfield" was a "CALVINIST".
I know many do not believe or understand, i am different. I didn't believe it either, my mother, my aunt, my father, The Methodists, The Baptists and The "Presbyters" and strangers on the street of many nations. And I don't have to say a word.
And The they have said, Go ahead, you will see, and No man can teach you for But GOD will! I am not special, but I am who i am. they said go, go ahead about your business and you will see!
And a Quote from, Jonathan Edwards Autobiography, from what "JOHN CALVIN"
said, and THAT quote that "Edwards" quoted gave me comfort. " if A man is engulfed in GOD"S WORDS that he cannot stop, and many others are not, do not be worried or in despair, because of others not having that burden "it is A "GIFT" from GOD.
PS.i do not read the Books of men anymore almost 20 years. I read and spend that time with GOD in my bible, and I will not give that time into another, I been there and did that about twenty years ago, I still do read some "Articles", but my time is with GOD. And i am "content" And i will not be presuded by another. not meaning books are not beneficial to many. But i have been There and Gone. I might refer a book to others, but I'm gone.
And will continue to go on through out All "ETERNITY" we never stop growing in GOD! and at "Accelerate Rate" beyond This World. now why would a man turn back.
Have you Forsaken all?
New American Standard Bible
But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles, to which you want to be enslaved all over again?
I am gone, if you only knew.
